Fire was March 2009. I so wanted to see the fire flowers, but a ranger chased us out. We saw this, and a Disa.

They call it blister bush. Does it? 2 guinea-pigs volunteered (not me, not a chance!) Mashed the leaves, rubbed them on 2 arms. Hiked in the sun for the morning.
Token picture of relevant leaves, not the actual guilty plant.
Results after 2 weeks. Still red and angry, and yes there were actual blisters.

Neighbourhood baboon. Male enjoying a nice juicy red apple, from a house that left the windows open. And yearning for the hills, but she won't go that way. Travelling with female and baby - who both wouldn't sit still for a photo. Moving towards Evergreen.

Wattleleaf. Gets mistaken for invasive Australian acacias. We found 2 plants, this mama and a baby https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/203487883 . When we walked back, we decided there are more inside the National Park fence.
